Andrew McMahon - Mulligan Goes to War lyrics

What can I say? The man had chiggers He graduated with a degree in Poly-Sci Premeditated what he would do until he died And then he faded into a never-rising sky Surfaced in the airforce, then learned how to fly Mulligan goes to war Mulligan goes to war The days are gone When he could tell you what he's fighting for Mulligan goes to war Flew helicopters with a patriotic grin Built up brick walls, rarely letting people in Had his pitfalls and he lived a life of sin That life is over now, the new one must begin Mulligan goes to war Mulligan goes to war The days are gone When he could tell you what he's fighting for Mulligan goes to war We all gotta go sometimes Made his living selling real estate Met his first wife, she came much too late To save the low man, he was slowly growing mad He lost his business, the economy went bad Mulligan goes to war Mulligan goes to war The days are gone When he could tell you what he's fighting for Mulligan goes to war
